Grand Canyon....amazing

Things I have learned on our trip, part deuce

1. See the title....we are really really tired. We have learned that long family vacations that involve road trips kinda mean a fun time for the kids and a lot of work for the parents. (we're having fun too, just need a lazy vacation when we return from our vacation)

2. These types of trips are very educational. I have learned a lot and so has Creed. 

3. Taking steroids makes me not only hungry but a little on edge. I have been sick for a few days and thank the Lord, my OK doc called me in some steroids (asthma, bad) and an antibiotic (sinus infection). It had been awhile since I had been on steroids, I guess I had forgotten that they make me a little crazy.

4. Most of the stuff you do on vacation, you could do at home but just don't.

Things we have seen:

Grand Canyon

Canyon De Chelly

Navajo Indian Reservation

Hopi Indian Reservation

Sedona

Blue Heron birds

Albuquerque

Phoenix

My kids favorite parts about the vacation:

Seeing My My,Daga, and Bapa (this one couldn't be done at home)

Things that could be done at home by aren't as much:

Eating junk food

Playing in the dirt

Watching Birds

Staying up late and getting up early

Playing Uno and Card games

Having Big Breakfasts

Playing outside a ton

Sleeping all together

Making new friends

Forgetting to brush teeth, make beds..etc.

Hmmm...listening to my kids and what their favorites are makes me laugh. I love em'.
